------------------------------------------------------------------
Ace ran as fast as he could. How could she even say something so stupid, him becoming a monster? He's already been called a monster because of being a pirate and having Gold Roger as his father. Ace felt how a feeling of panic rises as he hears the walls. Fuck!
Turning his head around he sees a wall fall incredibly fast down blocking his way back. Ace runs and realizes soon, that this is a labyrinth. How great.
Ace speeds up and slips under the wall before it closes another path. Why are these walls so thick? Ace starts to listen to his surroundings, trying to separate the sounds and understand what it means.
I don't have long stamina now, thanks to my imprisonment and lack of food. Aren't there any windows? Ace eyes can only catch thick stone walls moving in various directions. To the left, right, up, and down. Ace keeps running for five minutes when a wall rises showing, the dining hall. Immeidatley stopping Ace turns around only to see a wall fall fast, a lot faster than the ones he's seen previously.
"You can eat this, right." A voice asks from the dining hall. Turning around Ace is met with a sight. At the table were different kinds of foods, like meat. "I'm not a vampire, and I won't become one either. Do you like to treat slaves to a banquet?" Ace growls. "Of course not, but a slave is useless when it's dying of starvation." The Queen explains turning her chair towards Ace. "Also, slaves don't eat at the table." Queen Y/n adds putting up a finger and forcing Ace's body towards the table. When he's close enough she forces him to sit on the floor with her powers.
Standing up the Queen takes various plates of food and places them on the floor before Ace. "You're allowed to eat now." She's says and Ace's body follows her words like it was an order. After a while, Ace feels stuffed and satisfied with the food, but he can't speak, hell he can't even part his lips. Is this what it means to not own yourself?
"Oi, slave, I need a footstool." The queen calls out. Without any protest he crawled on the floor like an animal, placing himself before the queen's dining chair, which seemed to be a mini throne. His body didn't react at all when she placed her cold bare feet on him. Why can't I control my body? The sound of a page-turning told Ace that the Queen was reading a book and that his body might have to stay in that position for a long time.
Three hours later.
Placing down the book, the queen sighed in boredom. Standing up on her footstool she stretches a little and walks down. "Virus, I'm gonna get ready for my royal duties." She yelled, walking out of the room and leaving Ace behind.
Wait she's just gonna leave me here, like this? The only thing I can do is breathe. I can't talk, I can't move how do I get out of here? The room's light turned off and Ace stood still in his position. Now I am unable to see the floor too.
As the time passed, Ace's body got numb. He couldn't feel his arms, legs, or anything else for that matter. All he did was be still with his knees and palms on the ground. As the hours went his thoughts twisted and turned, should he become a vampire instead of a life like this? Would the queen even give him another chance to become one? NO, I don't wanna eat another human being.
After another pair of hours, his body finally moved, not by his command, but it still moved. The pain went through his body as he just stood up and walked away. Couldn't she at least make my body stretch a little?
Ace walked through the castle, listening to the walls moving, for him this time. He entered a room, where his body took a knife and walked into another room. In the room, a bunch of humans hung. His body took the knife and cut this one guy before him. A scream echoed in the room. All Ace could do was watch, as blood flowed down from his body into another silver bowl. "Wait, you're human! You must help me I'm a celestial dragon. So you must! I'm a respected man and I wanna fuck my eight wives and get back to my luxury place. Oh, you're supposed to bow down, how dare you, pheasant." Ace's hand moved and picked up a weird thing that looked like a band-aid. Placing it on the celestial dragon cut.
Ace looked at the man, he had a lot of black band-aid things and had probably been cut many times before. Taking the silver bowl with one hand Ace began walking to another location. But leaving the bloody knife on a counter before leaving the room. Now using his other hand Ace held the bowl as he walked after a while he came into a living room decorated with red crystals hanging from the ceiling. The queen sat on a couch made of fur. Ace placed the bowl on her table and then sat down on the floor.
"Hmm, I love this guy. He tastes amazing." Ace hears the queen comment while enjoying her blood. What's so special about a celestial dragon's blood? "Celestial dragon?" The queen asks looking from her bowl to Ace. "Explain." She says in a stern voice. "The guy's blood that you're drinking from is what people call a celestial dragon. Their descendants are from the people who made the world government."
The following three days Ace gets treated like a thing. The queen uses him as a footstool multiple times, but also like other stuff like a clothes hangar or a fucking chair! She also has him as a bookholder as she reads in a library. Some books are small so he can hold them, but other books his huge so he needs to balance them on his back. Ace's body feels the pain of not moving or holding something heavy but is forced to go along with it.
The queen has let him sleep on a couch and let him shower and change clothes. But it's not like he had control over his body during that time.
"Do you still want to be a slave?" The queen asks as Ace eats with her in the dining hall. Well, he's on the floor and she's in her throne-like chair. Of course not! Ace thinks knowing the queen could somehow hear him. "Can't you become a vampire? Please." The queen looked at him and in the corner of her eyes were tears. "I hate treating you like this, I could have you as a blood bank, but I can tell you're blood has a lack of taste." The queen says putting a hand on her face and leaning on the table. Her other hand moves up and Ace feels a release from his body. "I can move." Ace's voice sounded so happy. But it was clear he was in pain too. After the best stretch of his life, he turns his attention back to the queen.
"Do you have any loved ones?" The queen asks. Ace can't help but frown. "They all think I'm dead." He mutters feeling the pain of his facial muscles moving. "Would you like to see them again?" Queen Y/n asked moving her hand away to look at him. "YES!" Ace practically yelled, not that he planned to, but he missed all his friends and Luffy. "Well then, let me propose a deal for you."
